Unable to upload files named by multibyte characters

[japboy]

My repository has a file named in Japanese こんにちは.txt and I got an error while git-ftp was trying to upload the file via FTP:

I hope this will be fixed. Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a tricky bug to diagnose; there are lots of places where the failure has happened. It might take a while for me to find a fix.

GitPython uses UTF-8 for paths, maybe we can enforce it:
… status, file = line.split("\t", 1) file = unicode(file, 'UTF-8') …
